New custom stream summary screen shots for the new catalyst reaction specs, also the stream numbers have been redone to match the flow diagram from the powerpoint (#3)

This is a screen shot of the custom stream summary from aspen that was used when I used a countercurrent heat exchanger to channel the excess from the recycle stream into the bottoms for the distillation column in attempt use that energy to get it to get the bottoms to 283 F, although 283 F was not able to be reached, thus more energy from somewhere else needs to be used. .in addition to this stream

More information added to preliminary flow sheet, The following are from EARLIER versions of the process flow and may no longer be accurate.
Hydrocarboxylation:NiCO is used to form propionate from ethylene
Cobalt ion is then used to oxidize propionate to propionic acid.
